Scoring the cardboard to allow it to bend, very neat. I just did a quick search, evidently that works on plywood as well. How did the presentation at school go?

"Is everybody on the call? Are you all feeling alright? If you're not, you should ask your doctor about Fluoxetine. Common side effects include random product promotions during meetings." :)

I mentioned the alternate options (wooden furring strips) in the intro. I actually found the dados easier (not counting the sanding the first time), no extra step of lining the strips up accurately and level (though I did see a Youtube video for a helper jig).

Thank you as well. I've lost track of how many times I read through yours :)

Sorry you experienced the width issues as well. I may reach out to the company, just out of curiosity.Thanks; and thanks for the tape tip.

Thank you. I feel like the yellow makes it pop, versus the plain gray.

I made another one for the living room: stained the exterior, but also made drawer faces.

Thank you

Nice. For those without a projector, I picked up a CHEAP projector last week on clearance at Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gemmy-CineMotion-Multi-function-Multicolor-Led-Multi-design-Any-Occasion-Indoor/1001040312It doesn't need a computer, just a digital memory card. Shows pretty well through our white/creamish roller blind.There are apps available which let you download videos from YouTube, so you can put some better clips on to the memory card.

They have sliders with felt pre-attached that would work for ceramic or hard wood floors. Or you go to a craft store and get a large piece of felt to attach to the bottom.

So many cheesy varieties... must try them all.

Thanks. I have one of the tape dummies short listed (https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Duct-Tape-Dummy-1/), but haven't got my wife on-board (yet) to help :)

I left the outside rough for a long time. I finally got around to sanding it better. A rotary tool would have way too long, and I don't own a belt sander. I saw somewhere that someone improvised a belt sander by mounting their palm sander to a work bench. Worked pretty well. Still thinking of putting a small layer of epoxy down in the inside base.

She's usually only in the cage when sleeping, or when my wife is running errands. We bought her a window seat so she can look at outdoor birds while snacking.
